PSBO — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G183960 (PSBO) in garden pea encodes the PsbO protein, a component of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II, with oxygen-evolving activity and poly(U) binding. The gene is associated with photosystem II stabilization and assembly, nonphotochemical quenching, photosynthesis light reactions, thylakoid membrane organization, de-etiolation, and protein import. It is linked to membrane organization and photochemical quenching. The product localizes to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane and the OEC (PSII) complex.
